Franco Colapinto back on track today: his latest comments | OneFootball

After securing his best qualifying result since arriving in Formula 1, Colapinto did not hide his satisfaction.

The Alpine driver highlighted that the performance shown in Miami was no coincidence, but rather the result of a work process that allowed the team to correct mistakes from the first races.

“I’m happy. The main thing was understanding a bit why we were lacking in the previous races, and I think little by little it’s coming together,” he explained after the session.

On a new circuit for him and with the Sprint format — which considerably reduces adaptation time — the Argentine managed to stand out from the very start of the weekend.

Colapinto especially emphasized the joint work with the technical team during the break, which was key to turning around the uneven start to the season.

“The whole team did a great job, with the engineers and the mechanics. The break helped us start over,” he said. And he added: “After tough moments in the first races, having started from scratch and getting off to a good start is very important.”

The driver also stressed that, despite the improvements, there are still aspects to keep developing. “There’s still a lot to understand,” he admitted, making it clear that the process of evolution is ongoing.

One of the points that generated the most excitement around Colapinto was the performance on used tires, where he even posted competitive times against top teams.

“On used softs we were faster than one of the Red Bulls, so everything is on the right track,” he said, showing the leap in the car’s performance.

With this outlook, the Argentine was confident heading into the Sprint race. “I think it was a good job and tomorrow we’ll go for more,” he concluded, focused on confirming on track what he had already hinted at in qualifying.
